Sign High is a new TV series made here in Northland, and funded by the NZSL Board, that will be screening weekly from Thursday, 17th November 2016. Sign High is all about New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) and is for Deaf and hearing people alike.
Thursday 17th November 2016 will see the first of 15 episodes in this new TV series about Deaf people living in Northland, showcasing how New Zealand’s third official language – New Zealand Sign Language is used, learned and how vital it is to enable our Deaf community to access interpreting services when visiting their GP, the courts; what it’s like growing up Deaf, Deaf parenting, playing sports and much more.
Presented by Deaf people in our community, each episode takes you through an interview with a local person or business; and teaches you some NZSL signs that will help you to communicate with the Deaf people you know and those you may meet or work with in the future. The series has been produced using funding from the NZSL Board.
The programmes will screen on Channel North at 8pm each Thursday from 17th November 2016 and will re-run on the following Sunday at 1pm.
